Internationally renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid pays tribute to the horse that became his teacher.

In Mark Rashid’s fourth book, Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse, the teacher becomes the student when a nondescript, seven-year-old horse steps into his life. A famous horse trainer, known for listening to horses and working with them in a non-confrontational manner, Mark is faced with odd behavior from this horse, and he must reevaluate everything he understands about horses and about himself, as a trainer and as a person.
reviewed:"This is simply a great book, whether you are a horse person or not. In fact, so far I have given it to all my friends and employees, none of which are "horsey", and they all love it! It's hard to put into words what I have learned from it and what I continue to learn each time I read it. (4 times so far) Suffice it to say that it is the best book I've read in the last two years, and maybe longer."

In "Horses Never Lie," acclaimed horse trainer Mark Rashid breaks new ground by challenging the longstanding belief that a person must become the "alpa leader" in order to work with horses. Instead, "Horses Never Lie" teaches you how to become a "passive leader"—a reflection of the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to be around and to follow. It’s a must read for all horse owners who care about their horses and the kind of relationship they have with them.
reviewed:"must have for horse lovers! An excellent book you'll want to keep forever! The thoughts, ideas, techniques presented will be well used by the beginner and the expert. Really makes you wonder why some horse owners find the need to use excessive force with their horses. Buy it, read it, and re-read! You and your horse will benefit!"

Mark Rashid’s entertaining stories will introduce you to quiet solutions for resolving training problems from the horse’s point of view.

If you are about to buy a horse and definitely if you are about to sell your horse because of problems, or even if you only wish you owned a horse, this book will give you a whole new perspective into the horse’s point of view
